Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 racks pork ribs
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Remove the membrane from the ribs and rub the spice mixture all over the ribs.
  4. Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and cover them tightly with another piece of foil.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the ribs are tender.
  2. Remove from the oven, uncover, and brush with barbecue sauce.
  3. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then cut into portions and serve.

Notes

For added flavor, let the ribs sit with the rub in the fridge for a few hours. To reheat leftovers, gently warm them in the oven with extra barbecue sauce.
